Anyone have any diagrams, plug type suggestions, firing order, etc. on these engines? I have one that I need to get together and get running asap.

Thanks in advance...

P.S. Google sux for this one.

Well it is one of those situations where I really didn't want to be but for some reason I just can't tell people no as easy as most can.

I need to get the numbers off the tranny and see what it is. The rear end is a 4 lug with 13 inch wheels so I know something is mismatched somewhere. :uneasy:

I have a 331 and a 358 sitting here that's got me to itching. If I can see a way to make it work in this tiny car then it will be accompanied by a C-4 and some juice.
